Consultant to develop artificial neural network model, up to $95,000.

MWQI contracts required for FY13-14 Work Plan Elements

The MWQI Program maintains a planned budget of $8,250 to cover the total expenses of the

following contracts:

1. The contract has been extended with the San Luis Delta Mendota Water Authority

that covers the cost of phone service at the Jones Pumping Plant where MWQI

maintains a RTDF water quality station. The service is necessary for safety reasons

since staff may be working for extended periods of time in the lower level of this

working plan where their cell phones may not have service, and in case of

emergency staff would need access to a working landline phone.

2. The MWQI Program maintains the contract with Area Restroom services that

provides a portable toilet at the Hood RTDF WQ Station. This service is necessary

since staff may be on-site for extended periods of time while calibrating the

instruments and there are no other similar facilities in the local vicinity.

MWQI Operating Equipment and Expenses using the MWQI Program’s Planned

Budgeted Funds

Program Element 5.1 Grab Samples Collections

$205,000, of which $105,000 is allotted for bi-weekly contract lab analyses, $90,000 for

the van replacement, and the remaining $10,000 allocated for equipment and supplies

related to the discrete monitoring program.

6

Program Element 6.1.1: MWQI Real Time Stations

$134,328 allocated for the purchase of replacement filters, miscellaneous station

supplies, and analyzer specific components and service agreements.

Program Element 6.1.2: Gianelli WQ station

$40,000 allocated for the purchase of replacement filters, miscellaneous station

supplies, and analyzer specific components and service agreements.

Program Element 7.4: FDOM Proof of Concept Study

$500 allocated for the purchase of quantitative standards for instrument calibrations.

Program Element 8.1: Administration Work

$30,000 allocated for training classes, registration fees, travel related expense, and the

cost for the annual or offsite meetings. The Annual Meeting costs may include rental

fees for a facility, AV equipment and technical assistance, refreshments, deposit for

reserving dates and other miscellaneous meeting package elements. This budget

covers the additional training expenses for new staff and promoted staff in the MWQI

Program.

Program Element 8.3: O&M WQ Other Duties

$500 allocated for the purchase of quantitative standards for instrument calibrations.

Program Element 8.7: Workplace Safety

$2,000 allocated for the purchase of miscellaneous safety equipment for example,

vehicle fire extinguishers and first aid kits, personal flotation devices, earplugs, safety

glasses, etc.

Program Element 11. Other Required Program Costs

$3,000 allocated for the expenses incurred if the DWR Project Services Office staff

review any MWQI project reports prior to publication. Recall that as of July 1, 2013 the

Project Services Office will no longer be covered by overhead expenses and will begin

charging their document review services.

7

$1,000 allocated for the expenses associated with insurance and fuel for the MWQI

Program’s field support sampling vehicles. Currently the Field Support Section has four

vehicles in its service fleet, two vans and two trucks that are necessary to maintain the

MWQI Program’s continuous monitoring and support to various special studies.

Further explanation of the table 2 MWQI Program Staff Workload Assessments for FY13-

14 Work Plan Projects:

The MWQI Program’s staff workload assessments have gone through several revisions since

their inception in late 2012. The original staff workload assessment was conducted in

December 2012 to gain an understanding of how much time staff members were spending on

their current assignments and special study projects. The second staff workload assessment

was conducted in early 2013 to gain an understanding of how much time staff had for any new

assignments or special study projects. The most recent workload assessment is a refinement

of both previous staff workload assessments and is included as Table 2 of this FY13-14 MWQI

Work Plan. The Table 2 staff workload assessment includes all 15 staff members that make

up the MWQI Program including its program partners in the Division of Operations and

Maintenance, Operations Control Office, and the Bay Delta Office.

Table 2 includes both labor hours and the PY’s (1 Person Year = 2080 hours/year), per project

as listed in this work plan cycle including totals and percentages, and coincides with the PY’s

shown in Table 1. A target of 80% of the PY percentages is due to the fact that 2080

hours/year includes time-off for annual leave, vacations, sick leave, holidays, and furlough

days, and on-average a staff member is usually out-of- the-office approximately 20% per year.

The project partner managers planned 1 PY knowing that their staff would only be using about

0.6PY of their time this work plan cycle which adds additional flexibility to the plan. As staff’s

projects progress to completion and if furloughs are not extended through this work plan cycle,

this plan may require adjustments.

Appendix 2. Real-Time Data and Forecasting Comprehensive Program (RTDF-CP): Overview and

Evolution MWQI Program Background

In the early 1960’s, the U.S. Public Health Service published drinking water criteria that

consisted of only a few water quality parameters. These criteria remained largely unchanged

for years, as the conventional wisdom of the day held that treatment of surface waters by

filtration, and natural filtering of ground water by soils, along with disinfection, rendered these

supplies safe for drinking. In the 1970’s, improvements in scientific measurement techniques

led to discovery of trihalomethanes (THMs) in U.S. drinking waters. Subsequent investigation

indicated a possible link with increased incidence of cancer among exposed populations. In

1979, the Environmental Protection Agency established a drinking water standard of 100

micrograms per liter for THMs.

In anticipation of the new regulation, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) undertook a

three-month investigation of organic carbon and bromide sources in Delta drinking water

supplies. This study resulted in a preliminary finding that discharges from wastewater

treatment plants and drainage from land surfaces contained elevated concentrations of organic

carbon precursors of THMs, and that bromide was present in the system in concentrations

sufficient to create bromine-containing THMs in treated drinking water. This finding led to the

formation of a panel of recognized independent water quality and health scientists who were

asked to evaluate information and make recommendations for further action as needed.

The panel report, published in 1981, found that most Delta water quality data then in existence

was produced in support of ecological, rather than human health, concerns. The panel

recommended institution of a monitoring program for constituents of human health

significance, namely THM precursors, sodium, and synthetic organic pollutants such as

pesticides. In 1982, DWR implemented the Interagency Delta Health Monitoring Program

(IDHAMP) in satisfaction of the panel’s recommendations. The IDHAMP was created as an

interagency effort, and its successor remains so today. Participants have included the U.S.

Bureau of Reclamation, City of Stockton, City of Sacramento, Contra Costa Water District, and

9

California Department of Health Services, along with State Water contractor (SWC) agencies

that purvey drinking water.

Early information from the IDHAMP indicated drainage from Delta island peat soils is rich in

organic carbon, therefore a separate study; the Delta Island Drainage Investigation (DIDI) was

instituted. The DIDI was established to develop detailed information on the nature of this

carbon source and to identify potential means of mitigating its impact on Delta drinking water

supplies.

Meanwhile, advancements in analytical methodology continued, and as these were applied to

environmental analysis, new Delta water quality concerns emerged. Among these were the

presence of dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) in

fish and sediments, selenium pollution in the San Joaquin River watershed, arsenic in the

watersheds of the Delta and the State Water Project (SWP), pesticide pollution by molinate

and thiobencarb (rice herbicides) and diazinon (insecticide), and waterborne pathogenic

protozoa (Giardia, Cryptosporidium) that resist disinfection. Advancements in the analytical

sciences have also led to discovery of previously unidentified disinfection by-products in

drinking water supplies. Scientific data on all these and other potential water quality challenges

were collected through the IDHAMP Program.

As scientific discoveries were made, there was a greater appreciation of the need for water

quality information upon which to base management decisions affecting Delta water supplies.

Accordingly, in 1985, the SWC requested DWR to propose a broad-based program that would

provide information on known and emerging threats to drinking water quality. In 1986, DWR

responded by implementing the Municipal Water Quality Investigations (MWQI) Program, that

unified the IDHAMP and DIDI programs. The MWQI Program was founded on the principle that

water quality concerns will continue to evolve as scientific understanding progresses, and that

the program must be flexible and proactive in order to address the new water quality

challenges that will continually arise.

In search of practical means of eliminating or mitigating sources of undesirable constituents,

the MWQI Program has supported numerous scientific investigations into underlying

mechanisms of pollution. Years of monitoring effort have established a high quality, long-term

base of data documenting the drinking water quality status of the Delta, and the phenomena

10

that cause changes in Delta water quality. MWQI has also mobilized to monitor sudden events,

such as the June 2004 Jones Tract levee breach, with subsequent analysis providing guidance

for policy decisions. Data from the program have been, and continue to be used extensively in

water quality and water supply studies and planning. The continually evolving integration of

MWQI’s data with forecasting and information dissemination tools have made possible a future

in which we will be able to not only better understand the consequences of changes that occur

in the Delta and SWP, but also to anticipate, communicate and, in some measure, control

water quality conditions. The MWQI program is focused towards this future.

The Real-time Data Forecasting Comprehensive Program Background

MWQI water quality assessments concentrated on periodic collection of discrete (“grab”)

samples followed by their laboratory analysis and retrospective data interpretation. The early

years of the program were primarily devoted to surveying the status of THM precursors and

other water quality constituents and identifying their sources. Information derived from this

work was used for water supply planning. Today, new technology allows remote, near

continuous monitoring of water quality parameters such as organic carbon, bromide and other

ions, along with instantaneous transmission of the data. Remote monitoring of organic carbon

began at the Hood station in February, 1999, followed by the Banks station in October 2001

and the Vernalis station in January 2005. The first RTDF Water Quality Weekly Report was

sent out by email in January 2004. An EC forecast for Banks Pumping Plant was added to the

report in July 2004.

With these advances, the MWQI Program and the SWC realized that the tools were available

to coordinate real-time data acquisition and water quality forecasting via modeling to provide

water agencies and municipal operators with the information needed to make operational

decisions based on imminent changes in water quality.

Up to this point, model information products were simply borrowed from other purposes.

However, there was a lack of a coordination mechanism between organizations to fully realize

this potential. On June 7 and 8, 2006, representatives from SWC agencies who are

participants of the MWQI Program, DWR management and staff, and select outside agencies,

met to discuss the concept of a RTDF-CP. The meeting focused on identifying the required

11

program elements, possible collaboration and the resource sharing opportunities that would

allow the RTDF-CP to become reality. It was determined that if MWQI and the SWC were to

effectively harness the tools to improve the efficiency of water project operations while

protecting and improving drinking water quality, then the RTDF-CP must address the following

considerations:

The Delta and SWP must be more thoroughly instrumented to assure that real-time

water quality data are available at all critical locations.

A forecasting system must be created that was capable of producing water quality

simulations and providing early warning and notification on a daily production basis

using the existing SWP water quality forecasting model. Primarily, this would entail

developing the software mechanisms to efficiently provide the necessary input data to

the model, and produce a report output suitable for easy use by water managers.

Improvement in the coordination among DWR and SWC organizations to enable

smooth information flow and timely, appropriate action.

To address these needs the RTDF-CP was developed by the MWQI Program. A five-year

strategic plan was developed to guide the RTDF-CP (see Appendix 5 for a copy of the 5 year

strategic plan). The objectives of the 5-year strategic plan included:

Coordinate and collaborate MWQP activities with those of other DWR Divisions under

the RTDF-CP to enhance productivity, minimize duplication and overlap, and ensure

effective coordination and communication to enable joint implementation of water quality

assessment and forecasting activities affecting the Delta and SWP.

Develop and refine a SWP Early Warning System that will alert MWQP participants of

drinking water quality issues in a timely manner to enable preventative or corrective

actions. Components of the 5 year strategic plan that support this effort include:

o Water quality monitoring,

o Information Management and Dissemination,

o Water Quality Forecasting,

o Scientific Support, and

o Emergency Response

12

As envisioned, water quality sensors in the Delta tributaries (mainly Sacramento and San

Joaquin rivers) provide early warning of elevated concentrations of organic carbon, bromide,

turbidity, algal growth, and other water quality constituents of concern to drinking water

purveyors. Movement and concentrations of these constituents would be predicted using

computer forecasting models, and their actual movements tracked through other monitoring

stations in the Delta. The RTDF-CP would alert water operations managers of the conditions

enabling them to make operations decisions designed to mitigate water quality problems while

maintaining water deliveries. Agencies using the Delta as a source of drinking water would be

notified and status of the situation communicated on an ongoing basis. If elevated

concentrations of constituents entered the SWP system, they could be tracked using computer

forecasting and perhaps remote sensing tools, and drinking water agencies along the system

could be notified when and in what concentrations the constituents were expected to appear at

their intakes. Drinking water purveyors could alert water treatment plant managers who, in

turn, would prepare for chemical addition or other process changes as warranted. Drinking

water agencies would provide feedback to SWP operators and water quality managers to

enable the full consequences of operations decisions to be understood, and this information

would be acted upon to improve the early warning and operational control processes.

The geographic scope of the MWQI Program has historically been confined to the Delta,

guided by the sources of constituents of concern. However, the scope of real-time monitoring

and forecasting effort must, by necessity, encompass the watersheds of the Delta, the SWP,

and portions of the federal Central Valley Project that are interconnected to the Delta and

SWP. Implementing many of the RTDF-CP goals required coordination with staff outside of the

MWQI program. Within DWR, several units have expertise and responsibilities that are

necessary to operate an extensive real-time early warning and response system, including:

Division of Environmental Services (Office of Water Quality, MWQI Program, Environmental

Real-time Monitoring and Support), Division of Operations and Maintenance (SWP

Environmental Assessment Branch, Operations Control Office, SWP Field Divisions), and Bay

Delta Office (Delta Modeling Section). Therefore, in 2006, the SWC began working with the

Department to create additional staff positions needed to ensure that the goals of the RTDF-

CP were accomplished. In FY 2007-08 seven new positions were created within the

Department and were filled by February 2008. The FY 2008-09 work plan represented the first

13

year where all RTDF-CP positions were filled and priority tasks associated with the RTDF-CP

could be fully addressed. Currently, task coordination and oversight are being provided by an

RTDF Steering Committee with participation from each involved contractor of the SWP and

DWR staff members from the various participating groups.

A major, but necessary, challenge has been to develop mechanisms to integrate and

coordinate among DWR programs and other agencies to achieve effective communications,

standardized information formats, provide continued funding for positions in the Bay Delta

Office (BDO) and Operations and Control Office (OCO) for modeling and forecasting activities,

and periodically review and update programs to meet needs. The DWR Office of Water Quality

was established in recognition of the need for greater linkage among existing DWR water

quality programs. Expansion of the Real-time Data and Forecasting program is an example of

the need and provides a mechanism to realize this coordination and integration. However, to

further ensure a robust real-time water quality data and forecasting capability, long-term

management commitment and funding from DWR and the SWC is essential. Eventually the

RTDF-CP will need to reside organizationally where the integration of functions and resources

can be best realized.

Today the MWQI RTDF-CP Program entails the following elements:

1. Coordination and collaboration between DWR monitoring and forecasting groups.

2. Real-time data acquisition for the Delta and SWP through remote, high-frequency

monitoring.

3. Enhancement of forecasting and fingerprinting of drinking water quality through use

of computer models.

4. Centralized information management and dissemination.

5. Scientific support studies.

6. Emergency response preparedness as related to drinking water quality.

7. Coordination and collaboration within DWR and with outside agencies to enhance

real-time monitoring activities.

Besides the water quality monitoring, forecasting and data dissemination that makes up the

basic components of a real-time early warning system, scientific special studies and

14

emergency response elements are also necessary for an early warning system. In the case of

special studies, the information collected and knowledge gained are an integral part of the real-

time data collection and forecasting. Special studies are conducted to investigate the origins,

fate and transport, and in some cases, loads of current and emerging contaminants of

concern. Such studies help to determine where new instruments should be located or guide

model improvement. Special studies may also investigate seasonal patterns and trends of

constituents or examine contaminant circulation patterns. These studies can also be used to

refine modeling assumptions and design. Special studies can also assess the impacts of

increasing urbanization on levels of water quality constituents of concern. In addition, ensuring

that Departmental emergency response mechanisms include consideration of drinking water

constituents is vital to an early warning system. A mechanism that can quickly notify water

purveyors and operators of emergency spills and analytes that aren’t modeled or analyzed in

real-time will always be necessary.

The RTDF-CP consists of three interacting and complementary activities, often characterized

as the three legs of a tripod: Real-time Water Quality Monitoring, Water Quality Forecasting,

and Information Management and Dissemination. These three efforts are discussed below.

Current objectives for the Real-time Monitoring Program include:

Determining baseline concentrations of organic carbon, anions, nutrients and other

drinking water quality constituents in Delta and SWP waters.

Providing water quality data relevant to SWP contractors and other users of Delta water

supplies in a timely manner for decision making.

Providing water quality forecasts that assist SWP and other utilities in advanced

planning efforts to optimize management of their water supplies while meeting

increasingly stringent drinking water regulations.

Real-time Monitoring

Real-time monitoring or in-situ monitoring consists of high frequency (e.g., several

measurements per hour) of water quality and flow by remote, often unattended, equipment

installed in locations within the Delta, its tributaries, and the SWP. Communication equipment

transmits the resulting data to headquarters to be used shortly after measurements are made.

15

Real-time monitoring consists of two parts; a) field operations which ensure the operation and

maintenance of all automated sampling equipment, timely transmission of real-time data to

users and implementation and documentation of QA-QC of this data, and b) the synthesis of

real-time data from a variety of federal, State and local agency water quality monitoring

programs, rapid data quality control, analysis, and dissemination of results. These results are

currently provided as part of the RTDF-CP via electronic reports and the MWQP website.

Real-time results are used to: a) inform operational decisions affecting the Delta and SWP, b)

support development of water quality forecasting tools to help better manage SWP water

supplies, and c) for water quality and water supply planning studies. In addition to DWR and

the SWC, this information is used by many federal, state, and local agencies, and the public.

Today, real-time equipment is installed and maintained by MWQI at four critical Delta locations

(Hood, Vernalis, Banks PP and Jones PP). A fifth station was added near Gianelli Pumping

Plant in late 2011, providing carbon, anion, and other measurements in the channel between

Gianelli PP and O’Neill Forebay. As water management has become more complex due to

health regulations, environmental restrictions on water operations, and other factors, it has

become necessary to manage the Delta and SWP with increasing precision and knowledge.

This new water quality sensing technology offers a tool for better and quicker “tuning” of water

operations. High frequency real-time water quality data from multiple remote locations also

provides the needed information to develop and populate computer tools for fingerprinting and

forecasting drinking water quality conditions in the Delta and SWP.

Within the RTDF-CP, real-time monitoring activities receive technical advice and guidance

from the RTDF Steering Committee, a group of technical experts composed of staff from

participating agencies. The RTDF Steering Committee serves as a subcommittee of the MWQI

Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), to which the Steering Committee reports.

Water Quality Forecasting

Although water quality monitoring enables a snapshot of current and past water quality

conditions, and may aid understanding of the underlying causes, it is generally inadequate to

forecast and assess the water quality effects of future, or proposed, changes in the Delta and

SWP. To enable future conditions to be forecasted and analyzed, the forecasting component

16

of the RTDF-CP uses monitoring data in conjunction with mathematical modeling techniques to

develop and refine forecast data products. These efforts include providing feedback to better

tailor water quality monitoring to modeling needs and to maximize the use of modeling results

by water quality managers.

Models in use include DWR’s Delta Simulation Model (DSM2) and the DSM2- Extension model

(Aqueduct model). The RTDF-CP is also sponsoring improvements to three WARMF

watershed models, which offer the potential of linking watershed hydrology to Delta tributary

inputs. The geographic domain of DSM2 has been extended beyond the legal Delta to include

Aqueduct model. This model includes the SWP California and South Bay Aqueducts and the

Federal Central Valley Project (CVP) Delta Mendota Canal (DMC). With these tools, water

quality consequences of Delta and SWP-CVP operations can be forecasted, with the objective

of incorporating this information into water operations decisions for the export facilities as well

as downstream purveyor’s facilities. The models are being used to produce water quality

forecasts on short-term (three-week) and seasonal (calendar year), as well as source water

fingerprints for water volume, EC and organic carbon.

To achieve the tasks associated with modeling and forecasting requires the continued

collaboration between the various DWR groups within the RTDF-CP. These groups include the

MWQI Program, O&M’s OCO Delta Compliance and Modeling Section, and the Bay Delta

Office’s Delta Modeling Section. The MWQI Program collaborates with the OCO and the BDO

to accomplish forecasting tasks by developing data for simulation of historical condition and

WARMF model development for the Delta and Aqueduct water quality models. This involves

assembling, synthesizing, and refining the flows, EC, DOC, and bromide data necessary to

define boundary conditions and simulate historical conditions. These groups meet monthly in

the RTDF Steering Committee meeting and communicate as needed by phone and email.

The multiple development tasks involved in the WARMF, DSM2, and Aqueduct models are

tracked using a sophisticated MS Project Gantt chart and summary task complete table. The

production of the Gantt chart involves monthly updates of projects accomplishment to reach

our goals. Each project has numerous predecessors, and depending on the accomplishment of

these predecessors, the Gantt chart recalculates the schedule and the dates so we can see

the effect of each one of the projects on the final goal. The Gantt chart generates a visual

17

report that builds a diagram and presents a concise report for the project management (Figure

1).

The Steering Committee also provides coordination with other efforts that have the potential for

improving model accuracy. These include a study to develop improved regression

relationships between EC and dissolved ions of interest such as bromide, chloride, and others.

RTDF Information Management and Dissemination

The information management and dissemination component of the RTDF-CP integrates and

delivers results of the real-time monitoring, fingerprinting and forecasting elements of RTDF-

CP to a wide audience of water users, scientists, and the general public. This is generally

accomplished through water quality reports distributed via the RTDF web site and an E-mail

subscription list to staff of agencies participating in the MWQI Program and to other interested

parties. Both current and archived reports are available on the MWQI website. However, as

additional needs arise that require real-time data and forecasting tools, this information will

also be disseminated to stakeholders through e-mail, reports, and meetings. The goals of this

program element are:

To continue to provide meaningful and easy-to-use real-time water quality data and

forecasting information to stakeholders and utilities for source water management

decisions;

To continue to develop a program for acquisition, storage, assessment, and transfer of

water quality data and processed information in a near-real-time mode;

To provide continuous, real-time postings of relevant hydrologic data, sensor data,

operations, and water quality forecasts to stakeholders and utilities via the Internet in a

“user friendly” format; and

To continue to refine the format of real-time information based on stakeholder and utility

needs.

Within this component, there are information management and data dissemination tasks

associated with grab sample data and with real-time data. Grab sample data –collected by the

18

MWQI programs are stored in the California Water Data Library (WDL) which includes data

from DWR programs beyond MWQI. Real-time data from MWQI’s RTDF monitoring stations

are stored on a MWQI server and posted on DWR’s California Data Exchange Center (CDEC)

and the RTDF web site. There are plans to post quality-controlled results of the real-time data

to the WDL, as well.

The database management associated with this component has gone through several

evolutionary steps. These have tended towards greater information content while reducing the

amount of manual attention needed from MWQI staff. Initially the data management system

was an MS Access database used to generate weekly reports. The RTDF program’s organic

carbon data were combined with data retrieved from the California Data Exchange Center

(CDEC) to produce the reports. MWQI staff then reviewed the data for accuracy, and

summarized the data in graphical and text forms in the weekly reports. In FY 2007-08, the data

management system was replaced by a database platform that automatically received data

from real-time stations and/or CDEC as necessary. The latest phase of data management links

the database with the Internet using automated graph and data table generation and

presentation on a daily-updated web page, and automated email summaries. Plans are in

place to develop an “on demand” capacity for users to query RTDF data such as TOC, DOC,

EC, anions, and other water quality parameters from the WDL.

Changes and improvements to the data dissemination effort are decided upon by the RTDF

Steering Committee. This committee provides advice and recommendations on the

appearance, format, and function of web pages, reports and related media that provide access

to the information produced through the project.

Appendix 3. Project Management Documentation Background

The purpose of this appendix is to provide additional information on new studies that were described

in the work plan. To keep the work plan clear and concise, only short summary descriptions and

tables of deliverables and due dates were provided in the 2013-2014 work plan. This appendix

contains the full project charters for the studies that appear in the work plan. Additionally, this work

plan marks the beginning of using the Project Management body of Knowledge (PMBOK) standard of

developing projects.

The PMBOK standard of designing and implementing projects is the method that DWR is now using,

and MWQI lead staff will be adapting for new studies. PMBOK includes processes for initiating,

planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing out a project. Each stage of project

development incorporates the elements of project integration, management, scope, time, cost,

quality, resources, communication, risk, procurement, and stakeholder management. Utilizing the

PMBOK standard will enable staff to effectively manage projects while efficiently producing

deliverables within scope, schedule, and budget.

Previously, ideas for new studies used straw-man proposals that were submitted by MWQI staff and

SWPCA members. These proposals were a general outline of the study idea, how the study met the

needs of the MWQI mission, what resources and timeline the study would require, and the outcome

or data gap that the study would fill. After these study ideas were approved by the MWQI Technical

Advisory committee (TAC), the details of the study would be investigated and the study would be

incorporated into the MWQI Work plan. Although the approval process for studies being incorporated

into the Work plan remains the same, the format in which studies are proposed, developed,

implemented and completed will change.

The new process for developing studies begins with project initiation forms, which are replacing the

“straw man” proposals. These forms are shared and discussed with the TAC to determine if the study

meets all of the MWQI objectives, and if there is available staff time and resources. Studies that meet

the requirements will be included in the new Work plan. For studies that have a simpler study design,

project charters will be created. The project charter is a document that clarifies the reason for the

project, the project’s background, its scope, risks, assumptions and constraints, milestones, core

team members, and budget. In cases where the project plan is not yet fully developed and that will

require significant time to develop the study plan, a project initiation form will be included instead.

21

Studies that are ongoing from prior Work plans will not include project initiation forms or project

charters. These projects will not be included in this appendix.

For continuity between this appendix and the Work plan, the sections of this appendix are broken

down by Work plan section. The project management documents for this Work plan fall into

“Program Elements Water Quality Assessment” and “Science Support (Special Studies)”. The

initiation forms and charters are in the same order as those studies appear in the Work Plan.

Special Study Monitoring Schedule for 2013/14 and beyond

Aside from normal monitoring activities, the MWQI program is often involved in special studies that require additional monitoring efforts. The following is a list of the current and future special monitoring projects with anticipated initiation and completion dates: Project and Description Initial Monitoring

Date Final Monitoring Date

Murage Fluorescence Study Requires the collection of 40ml amber vials of filtered water at numerous locations in the Delta.

n/a July 2013

Ted’s Spectrofluorometry Study This special study requires field crews to collect 40ml vials of filtered water in addition to other analytes analyzed by Bryte Lab and Weck (THMFP’s). All monitoring uses existing discrete sampling locations with the exception of two additional sites which were added specifically for this study, Banks and Jones Pumping Plants. Discrete sampling, outside of RTMQC monitoring will end at this studies completion. Also, no THMFP samples will be collected after December 2012.

n/a completed

Colusa Basin Drain Colusa Basin Drain monitoring was originally part of the SAC WARMF monitoring project for the 10-11 WY. The data proved to be of sufficient interest that the MWQI program has added it as one of its long-term monitoring sites. Therefore, monitoring at Colusa will continue monthly, indefinitely.

October 2010 continuous

Eastside Streams WARMF and Yolo DSM2 Monitoring The Calaveras river, Mokelumne river, and Shag Slough at Liberty Island are being monitored for WARMF/DSM2 modeling purposes. These sites are to be monitored for 3 to 5 years starting from October 2010. Prior to the end of year 3, MWQI staff will meet with OCO/BDO/Systec to determine if the data collected over the first three years was sufficient to answer their questions. If not, MWQI has agreed to monitor up to an additional 2 years.

Appendix 5. MWQI 5 Year Strategic Plan During the 2012-2013 fiscal year, the five-year strategic plan for the MWQI Program was updated,

approved and adopted by the MWQI Technical Advisory Committee. This strategic plan will serve as

the basis for the MWQI Program for completing development of program work plans for 2012-2013,

and subsequent years. The plan that was approved is reproduced below.

Introduction

The Municipal Water Quality Program (MWQP) Branch consists of four sections: Municipal Water

Quality Investigations (MWQI), Water Quality Special Studies, Field Support, and Quality

Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) sections. Three of these sections, the MWQI, Water Quality

Special Studies, and Field Support sections, constitute the MWQI Program funded by the State Water

Project Contractors Authority MWQI Specific Project Committee (MWQI-SPC) with an annual budget

of $3.1 million. The QA/QC Section is funded by SWP funds with an annual budget of $607,000. The

five-year strategic plan for the MWQI Program covers the sections included in the MWQI Program

and the QA/QC Section.

MWQP Branch Mission Statement

To enhance the Department’s mission of managing the water resources of California by supporting

the efforts of the Department's Divisions and outside agencies to benefit the State’s people through

water quality monitoring for drinking water purposes in an economic, reliable and environmentally

sound manner while taking steps to protect, restore, enhance, and sustain the Delta's natural

environments.

MWQI Program Mission Statement

The mission of the MWQI Program is to: a) support the effective and efficient use of the Sacramento-

San Joaquin Delta (Delta) and the State Water Project (SWP) as a source water supply for municipal

purposes through monitoring, forecasting, and reporting water quality; b) provide early warning of

changing conditions in source water quality used for municipal purposes; c) provide data and

knowledge based support for operational decision-making on the SWP; d) conduct scientific studies

of drinking water importance; and e) provide scientific support to DWR, the State Water Project

Contractors Authority MWQI-SPC, and other governmental entities.

55

Organizational Structure, Coordination, and Funding

Work within DWR to develop an organizational structure that ensures staffing requirements for

the MWQI Program are met on a timely basis through the retention of highly qualified

personnel that have the expertise to meet MWQI Program objectives.

Continue developing and implementing the Real Time Data and Forecasting-Comprehensive

Program (RTDF-CP) which encompasses tasks identified by the MWQI-SPC, MWQP staff,

and DWR management, as high priority and achievable through cooperative effort.

Work with the MWQI-SPC to identify tasks that can most efficiently be performed through

cooperative agreement, and participate in cooperative implementation of such tasks. These

tasks will be described in detail and planned for on an annual fiscal year basis in the MWQP

Work plan.

Work with the MWQI-SPC to identify funding needs that will enable the MWQP to be

adequately implemented, and to participate in acquiring, allocating, and accounting for, funds

to accomplish needed work as stated in the annual work plans.

Coordinate and collaborate MWQP activities with those of other DWR Divisions under the

RTDF-CP to enhance productivity, minimize duplication and overlap, and ensure effective

coordination and communication to enable joint implementation of water quality assessment

and forecasting activities affecting the Delta and the SWP.

Development and Refinement of a SWP “Early Warning System” for Water Quality

Concerns

As they pertain to the responsibilities of the MWQP Branch, and in conjunction with the

Division of Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and as one of the primary objectives of the

RTDF-CP, develop and refine a “SWP Water Quality Early Warning” system that will alert

MWQI Program participants of likely drinking water quality problems in a timely manner to

enable preventative or corrective actions to be taken to avoid consumer impacts.

Work collaboratively with other DWR Divisions to develop efficient communications among

DWR Divisions and MWQI Program participants to ensure early warning information is

transmitted, received, and acted upon as they pertain to the responsibilities of the MWQP

Branch.

Tasks identified under the “Water Quality Monitoring”, “Information Management and

Dissemination”, “Water Quality Forecasting”, “Scientific Support” and “Emergency Response”

56

program elements support the development of this early warning system as they pertain to the

responsibilities of the MWQP Branch.

Water Quality Monitoring and Emerging concerns

Monitor water quality parameters relevant to drinking water at key locations in the Delta

through periodic collection of discrete samples and their analysis by field and laboratory

instruments, according to accepted methods.

Monitor upcoming plans for habitat restorations required under current and future Biological

Opinions and any projects developed as part of the proposed Bay Delta Comprehensive Plan.

Develop and implement all necessary monitoring programs to establish baseline information

prior to the construction of any restoration projects, during construction of the projects and

during the implementation of those projects.

Maintain existing in-situ multi-parameter water quality monitoring stations on the Sacramento

River at Hood, H.O. Banks Delta Pumping Plant Headworks, Jones Pumping Plant, San

Joaquin River near Vernalis, and on inlet to Gianelli Pump/Generation Plant.

As part of RTDF-CP work cooperatively with the MWQI-SPC, other DWR units, and other

agencies, to identify additional key locations in the Delta, its tributaries, and the SWP where

additional in-situ water quality assessment equipment is needed. Work cooperatively with

others to acquire needed permits, plan for and perform construction, acquire monitoring and

communications equipment, bring new stations into operation, and assure the quality of data

produced.

Perform water quality assessments and evaluations to identify drinking water quality

consequences of physical or operational changes in the Delta, its watersheds, and the SWP.

With participation of the MWQI-SPC, other MWQI Program participants, and DWR modelers,

produce annual re-evaluations of the discrete and in-situ monitoring programs to identify and

recommend needed changes to eliminate critical data gaps, provide valid data for the DSM2

model, improve program efficiency and minimize monitoring costs.

Ensure timely and appropriate QA/QC of water quality and related information produced by the

MWQI Program. Take timely and effective action to identify and correct QA/QC problems.

Include equipment/instrument maintenance and calibration as part of the annual QA/QC

process.

As part of the RTDF-CP work with QA/QC Section staff to standardize the QA/QC procedures,

especially for new stations.

57

Continue to explore new and improved technologies for acquiring real time water quality data.

Utilize new technology where possible to minimize monitoring costs and data gaps and to

move towards standardization of monitoring methodology.

Work collaboratively with O&M to plan for emerging constituents of concern such as “Taste

and Odor” issues that have been increasing with time. Respond to these emerging concerns in

a timely manner as part of the RTDF-CP.

As part of the RTDF-CP, work collaboratively with O&M to develop a comprehensive program

of monitoring, early warning, and management for algal growths in the Delta and SWP having

the potential for causing taste and odor in treated drinking water taken through the SWP.

Governance of this program will be through a steering committee composed of DWR staff from

relevant organizational units, and MWQI-SPC representatives of affected agencies.

Information Management and Dissemination

Provide timely analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of monitoring information to MWQI

Program participants and other identified stakeholders on key constituents of concern.

Analyze and present monitoring results to program participants and in public proceedings.

Continue to develop and refine capability for MWQI Program participants to rapidly acquire

real-time and other drinking water quality data and supporting information through the internet

in user-friendly formats.

Produce annual data and/or interpretative reports documenting program findings, as shall be

determined by the MWQI Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).

Continue production of weekly water quality reports, with continuing improvements, as may be

directed by the MWQI TAC.

Provide technical assistance to MWQI Program participants in acquiring needed water quality

data and supporting information.

Research and develop new and innovative means of communicating MWQI Program work

products to program participants and other interested parties.

Encourage and promote actions by regulatory agencies necessary to ensure a high-quality and

reliable water supply by disseminating information derived from the MWQI Program.

Advocate drinking water quality protection by tracking new projects in the Central Valley,

including operational planning activities, by alerting MWQI Program participants to projects

having the potential to affect the quality of drinking water supplies taken through the Delta,

58

reviewing and commenting on environmental documents, and participating in public hearings

and workshops.

Maintain awareness of findings from international, national, and regional research activities

that have a bearing on the ability to meet future drinking water regulations, factor these

findings into analyses of Delta water quality conditions and facilities options as appropriate,

and communicate these findings to MWQI Program participants.

Water Quality Forecasting

Produce timely water quality forecasts for MWQI-SPC members. MWQI Program staff will

support DWR modeling efforts by providing water quality expertise needed to improve Delta

models, coordinating closely with modelers to collect data to support model development and

to improve the ability to interpret and apply model outputs.

The Bay-Delta Office (BDO) will continue development of the WARMF models for the Delta

watersheds. The Operations Control Office (OCO) will be responsible for modeling water

quality forecasts.

MWQI staff should endeavor to become experts at interpreting how Delta watersheds influence

Delta drinking water quality. We encourage staff to develop a scientific understanding of the

Delta watersheds by becoming proficient with the Watershed Analysis Risk Management

Framework (WARMF) model as this will help to develop such an expertise.

Scientific Support Studies

In cooperation with MWQI Program participants and as part of the RTDF-CP, identify the need

for, and implement detailed studies to examine specific phenomena that affect, or may in the

future affect, Delta drinking water quality. These studies may be generally classified as

follows:

o Detailed evaluations of problem areas or conditions identified as a result of monitoring

activities.

o Evaluations of drinking water quality consequences of proposed physical or operational

modifications in the Delta and its tributaries, its inflows, internal flow patterns, or

outflows.

o Prediction of the drinking water quality consequences of population growth patterns.

o Detailed evaluations of natural processes that have the potential to affect the quality of

Delta drinking water sources.

59

Detailed evaluations of point and non-point pollutant discharges to the Delta (including tributaries to

the Delta). Studies will be selected for implementation based on their significance to the quality of

drinking water supplies taken through the Delta, likelihood of being able to apply the information to

attain higher quality of Delta drinking water sources, cost and availability of MWQI staff resources.

Outside expertise will be enlisted where necessary and feasible to conduct or collaborate on scientific

studies.

Emergency Response

Identify, to the extent possible, ahead of time specific concerns regarding these events and

what constituents would need to be assessed.

Develop scenarios for different emergency events using models to determine which areas in

the Delta pose most significant drinking water quality issues.

Develop emergency response plans ahead of time (follow SIMS template), identifying funding

and staffing needs, all participating groups and their roles.

Work with other DWR units (i.e. O&M and Flood Management) to develop emergency

response plans.

Encourage DWR Executive to treat these events similar to flood events.

Perform water quality assessments and evaluations in response to emergency situations, such

as Delta levee breaks, supplying timely water quality information to emergency decision

makers and public health authorities.

During emergency circumstances, work cooperatively with emergency managers and rapidly

communicate results of emergency water quality assessments the MWQI Program may be

tasked to perform.

Sanitary Survey

Follow-up and resolve items identified in the Action Plan for the Watershed Sanitary Survey,

2011 Update.

Coordinate efforts of the California Department of Public Health, MWQI staff and the MWQI-

SPC to implement procedures to produce annual Sanitary Survey reports that would provide a

more manageable and productive means of meeting the intent of the Sanitary Survey

regulatory requirements. The annual Sanitary Survey reports would be combined into a 5-year

update as required in the regulations.
